Mental health is essential to the overall health and well-being of any person regardless of age. As individuals age physical health often deteriorates and unexpected life difficulties take place that can affect an individual’s mental health. While depression is not a normal part of aging, when the social determinants of health become less accessible, the risk of depression increases as we age. This workshop will focus on mental and behavioral health risks that increase with age. Panelists will discuss the behavioral health risks for seniors, discuss local programs to support senior health, and discuss community solutions to supporting seniors through behavioral health challenges.
